So what I like to do with my clients and the people in my workshop is, number one, we're gonna do that offer inventory first, and we're gonna be like, "Yes, we want to promote this in fourth quarter, or no, we do not." And that's where I like to start.

Ruth PoundwhiteGUEST
And also, what was I gonna say? Personally, for me as well, I li- I like what you said about there's something new I wanna try.

Ruth PoundwhiteGUEST
I do find there's something about the energy of Black Friday that it's like, why not try something new? Why not pre-sell something? And I've often included, if I'm doing multiple offers, I'll often include one that's at some pre-sale just to...

Ruth PoundwhiteGUEST
It's just a lovely permission just to experiment and try something new if you want to.

Ruth PoundwhiteGUEST
The other thing I wanted to ask you is, and you mentioned this earlier, it's not always about cutting prices, 'cause I know, obviously, Black Friday specifically is very famous for these wild discounts and all of that, but in, in our businesses, we may not w- want to put a discount on something that, you know, whether it's a service that we offer 'cause it takes up our time, or maybe j- we just don't wanna discount whatever it is that we're offering.

So in terms of your email workflow, how do you make sure that you're still the orchestrator, but it's still doing the heavy lifting for you?

Ruth PoundwhiteGUEST
Yeah, you're really right to distinguish it as like, this is the part that I'm very involved in as the human thinker behind my business and the person that connects with other people in my business, right? The key thing, and I will do a little demo and stuff, but the key thing I want to talk about before that is the training of your AI tool of choice, right? And it may not even be necessarily one tool.

Ruth PoundwhiteGUEST
It could just be having documents that you've created that you can then upload to various tools, but the training of it.

Ruth PoundwhiteGUEST
So I think most people who are using AI, or maybe I'm generalizing here, I don't know, but I think most people you need to probably do a little bit of training, how you sound or your brand, your offers and stuff.
